The capital of Thailand is electric chaos, from the animated street-food vendors to traffic jams galore. The only balance for Bangkok&#8217;s vibrant character is found in its spiritual dimension. Intricate Buddhist temples and monasteries offer momentary respite. Then it&#8217;s back to the buzz of city life. Bangkok is a place of abundance. Abundant in religious institutions, abundant in delicacies offered at the food markets, and abundant in places for an unforgettable night on the town. With Thailand&#8217;s first skate company (Preduce Skateboards), Princess Sirivannavari&#8217;s eponymous fashion label, and an avant-garde collaboration between Chef Gaggan Anand and Louis Vuitton, Bangkok is clearly abundant in its creative output as well. An intimate story of exploration recounted by author Simon Liberati is accompanied by dynamic images&#8212;several of which have been provided by local photographers&#8212;to present an invigorating portrait of Bangkok. <ul><li>312 pages</li><li>200 illustrations</li><li>Hardcover </li><li>Imported</li></ul><br><b>SPECIFICATIONS</b><ul><li>About 10"W x 13"L x 1.5"D</li><li>Weight, about 7.0 lbs.</li></ul>
